Římov – South Bohemian Jerusalem

Original language description

Římov is located in southern Bohemia, about 12 km south of České Budějovice and 13 km northeast of Český Krumlov. This is one of the finest examples of baroque landscape stemming from Catholic mysticism, created by combining landscape, architecture, and the arts. The essence of the value of the Římovsko consists mainly of a large pilgrimage complex with a distinct spiritual and ideological content emphasizing three fundamental moments of the history of salvation: The preparation for salvation is personified through the Virgin Mary in the Loretto Chapel with an extensive Marian cycle of murals in the surrounding cloister. The Christ´s suffering, which brought hope of salvation to humanity (Calvary), takes place in the religious community in the Church of the Holy Spirit. In Bohemia, this is a unique topographic reproduction of the original in Jerusalem. On one side is the Mount of Olives and on the other is Calvary with the Holy Sepulchre. The most famous era of this pilgrimage place is associated with the activities of the Jesuits. They came to the village of Dolní Římov in 1626 and worked there until the abolition of the order in 1773. At the core of the pilgrimage place is the Loretto Chapel with the Church of the Holy Spirit in the centre of the village and a unique Way of the Cross runs through the village and also through open countryside of fields and forests around the village and along the Malše River. This complex consists of small chapels, large buildings, and three gates. Several chapels are decorated with wall paintings, panel paintings, sculptures, and painted wooden sceneries.
